A year ago Farmer was thought to be on the rise as an NFL draft prospect. It turned out he went undrafted, so he took a volunteer assistant's job with the Concordia football team and then, quite by accident, discovered he had one semester of eligibility to compete in another sport in the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics. He chose wrestling. (AP Photo/Nati Harnik)
